Faster search for files in Netbeans

Question

Is there an existing plugin or tweak that speeds up the "Go To File" search in Netbeans ? Compared to Eclipse, Netbeans search is way too slow specially if one has multiple large size projects.

I know I can use CTRL + O for "Go To Type" but often I need to search for other file types like XMLs, property files etc. across thousands of files in multiple projects.

I installed the Quick Search plugin but even that doesn't search for non Java file types.

Answer 1

You can focus on the Project Tree and simply type the file name which you want to looking for. Press Up/Down to select if more than one file match your search.

Or use keyboard shortcut to open the search file form:

• Windows/Linux :

Alt + Shift + O

• Mac OS :

Control + Shift + O

You can install the recent file list plugin

This plugin is not as powerful as the intellij but to simulate the same behavior (open the recent files with ctrl+E):

After install the plugin assign the Ctrl+E shortcut to the "Recent Files" action: Tools->Options->Keymap->Search "Recent Files" and assign Ctrl+E shortcut
